Yup. Yet again, the Steelers always play better when they lose, but everything is A OK in yinser land when they win  I see a Bengals team that threw 0 tds and 2 picks, ran 15 times for 14 yards (WTF?) and you couldn't beat them? Your team has become pathetic. Speaking of pathetic, this is no news but the Giants had four linebackers on the field and still can't stop the run. Even when he's bottled up, they just kinda hold on to him and let em slide past. I thought it was bad last year but wow, this defense is a travesty to NY Giants football. I try to stay fair, so while he has had another maddeningly inconsistent year...as of late Romo has been playing superb football. Dez Bryant seems to be coming to life. Thank god it's too late, if Romo ever kept this consistent for a year (god forbid) they'd run away with the NFC east.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you there. Outside of our defensive 4 playing absolutely outstanding, we played terrible in every other aspect of the game. Granted, that 4th and 22 they went on was basically in no-man's land (terrible to punt, kick the FG, or go for it) but I agree that and the 56-yard field were completely mindblowing. I figured the 4th down one was at least to try and draw your D-line offsides and call the timeout with no time on the play clock, so I was yelling and screaming at the TV through that entire play. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually feel really good about our first playoff game, which looks like it could be against the Pats of all teams. If our D-line continues to play like this, Brady's going to be constantly under pressure. And unlike Big Ben, he's not the kind of guy who can run, avoid tackles, and extend plays. And then I still have a lot of questions about their defense. But for now, I'll take today and give my heart a chance to restart.

Tuck is inactive for the Ravens game.
Wonder why. If he's hurt that could explain his ghost like year.
Looks like Osi will start. Not in his prime, but been a decent rusher, maybe he'll turn on with more snaps. Still think Kiwanuka should be put back at DE. He's been great when given the chance. Just hope this will get some pass rush going!

Pulling for the Saints and Eagles, but just because I want to see the Cowboys and Skins lose.
Giants are in their famous "win and in" scenario, so if they win both they are in regardless of what anyone else does.
Frankly I can't trust them though ha even against the Ravens, should be easy but how many times has that been said?

I thought the Skins held the tie-breaker though. So wouldn't they need to lose at least one of their last 2 for the Giants to get in?
|
I don't think so, I have no idea all the crazy going ons that determine it but I've been hearing if they win, they're in, regardless. Well, happened again....started Tom Brady over Matt Ryan because LOL the Jags and Brady has done well but near the level Ryan has. sh*t, having 2 good QBs actually sucks, you always get burned. Should keep one easy starter and a backup, make the decision easier Wow Vikings really spanking the Texans, though looks like AP will have a real uphill battle now.

For a brief minute or two I had tickets to last night's game. My boss offered me his tickets but they were on Stub Hub. He called me when he got home from work and said just as he was removing them from Stub Hub he got a message that they had been sold. Oh well. Missed seeing history, but otherwise the Lions really haven't interested me all that much this year.

I know it's a more passing league and all and etc etc etc but still, give the guy kudos. Especially when he's the only real target and Stafford is not really that great. To break it in 15 games, helluva feat.

No no we do need them. If they were gone people would going crazy about the Giants sucking. Instead of now were 5.9 of every 6 hours are people calling up "OMG WTF MCELROY TEBOW GAAAH" Though
on the flipside it does make me mad when Eli has a 500 yard game or
epic performance and we just heard about "oh sh*t they ran tebow up the
middle for one yard"

Yeah I heard that. As dumb as it'd be I could see it because the Jets love the fanfare and publicity, and he'd bring that. I can't see it (or making any moves) because they just paid Sanchez. I think its a 13 or 14 million dollar cap hit if they let him go, that's cut or trade. So if they get rid of him that puts em in a hole. if they keep him, well how are you gunna pay for Vick or any big name? There's always trade but who's taking Sanchez/what can you get? They're stuck. If I was the owner have a QB competition between dirty sanchez and McElroy, and get a new OC. And a new coach, and GM. Some less poisonous wideouts would help, or just more talented ones. ...Just sell the team to LA
